Chris Cadden reveals extra Hibs motivation to repay David Gray after boss' personal sacrifices during injury hell

dailyrecord.co.uk:

David Gray went above and beyond to help Chris Cadden through his injury hell. Now the Hibs wide man is desperate to go the extra mile in his boss' hour of need.Cadden says the entire dressing room is behind the under fire boss as they look to haul themselves off the bottom of the Premiership table at least for a couple of hours this evening.

But the 28-year-old revealed Gray did more than anyone when he came back from a serious injury that saw him miss nine months of action between May 2023 and February this year.Whether it was one-to-one sessions on the park or sitting watching every second of his comeback matches on video before going through them minute by minute in the analysis room, Cadden knows he owes Gray a debt of gratitude.

And there’s no better way to repay that than by helping deliver the results that will ease the pressure on the 36-year-old.Gray was given a vote of confidence by the Hibs board after the defeat to St Mirren a fortnight ago left them rooted to the bottom of the table with just one win from 12 league games.

And Cadden said: ““I can't speak for everyone else but I was delighted (with that statement) because we were all behind the manager.“I've known the gaffer for a while now and he's been brilliant, he's especially been brilliant to me as a player, a coach and as a manager.
